Chương 21: An Infiltrator

Chapter 21

It was a Friday morning. Jake woke up early as usual for his daily exercise. When he got to the gym, he did all his exercises. After two weeks of daily training, Jake no longer felt the strain he once did. He started doing his exercises easily. After Jake was done and he heard a ding in his head, Jake decided to pull up his status screen to see what his rewards were for winning that duel.

<User: Jake Lucas>

<Level: 5>

<HP: 30/30>

<Strength: 23>

<Agility:18>

<Endurance: 27>

"System, pull of yesterday's notification." Jake said in his mind.

<Congratulations! User has done the impossible by defeating a strong opponent.>

<Rewards: An instant level-up; one plus stat point to all stats; a new skill.>

"Now this is what I'm talking about. A new skill and the increase in stat points. That battle has taught me a valuable lesson. Strength is useless without speed so I have decided to put the free stat point into agility." Jake thought. After putting it, he decided to check his status again.

<User: Jake Lucas>

<Level: 5>

<HP: 30/30>

<Strength: 23>

<Agility:19>

<Endurance: 27>

Satisfied about his stats, Jake decided to check his skills tab to see the new skill he got.

<Melee combat: Level 1 (Deals 10 damage with basic weapons therefore removing 10% HP from enemy)

<Stealth: Level 1; Increases evasion chances by 10%>

"Wow! This skill will be very handy to have in future." Jake said. "But the skill can only be used once a day. It is still okay anyway."

With his system exploration complete, Jake headed to his dorm to get ready for the day. After bathing and dressing up, the whole room decided to get breakfast together after a long time. They chatted happily on their way going to get breakfast. After breakfast, they went for their homeroom class together.

Jake's mind wandered during the dull class, his thoughts drifting to his future plans once the werewolf war was over. After what felt like an eternity, the class was finally over. They all moved to the training grounds for their training.

They did their physical training as usual but unknown to Jake, a pair of eyes were burning behind his back all through the training. And the pair of eyes belonged to Sebastian. After exercising for two weeks in order to complete his daily quest, he found the physical training relatively easy now.

While they were running, Jake was finally running past some people, he even started running side by side with Peter and Jack. He was no longer the one in the rear line.

"Woah, somebody has gotten a little bit stronger physically." Peter couldn't help but comment.

After the running, they moved on to basic training like push up and the likes of it. During the push ups, Jake surpassed everyone there by doing 60 push ups while Jack who was supposed to be the strongest, stopped at 55.

After the warm-ups were done, it was time to practice The Triple Threat' skill again. Lee wanted them to practice it so they could perfect it properly before he moved on to the next skill. After an hour worth of practicing the skill, Lee finally permitted them to spar with each other.

Luckily throughout the sparring session, there were no incident among the students or anyone targeting someone. The training for the day concluded without any problems. Since the next day was a weekend, it was the students day off to do whatever they wanted to do.

The whole friends went to their dorm to rest after a good day of training.

"Hey, Jake, what do you plan on doing tomorrow?" Peter asked. "Hope you are not planning on going to town again?"

"No, don't worry, I'm not planning to head into town anytime soon. About your earlier question, I don't know what to do tomorrow." Jake replied. "What about you, what are you planning to do tomorrow?"

"I'm planning to head to the academy's VR gaming room to train myself further."

"What!!! The academy has a VR gaming room? But why will they have a gaming room in an academy? We are in the middle of a war so what does gaming have to with training the students?" Jake asked.

"The gaming room isn't for fun and casuals, it's for training purpose. Don't worry, if you wanna see it, then why don't we pay the room a visit tomorrow." Peter asked.

"Why not." Jake said. "Vynn why don't you also tag along with us tomorrow."

"Sure, I was planning to anyway." Vynn answered.

"What about you girls?" Jake asked.

"I'm planning to train tomorrow to grow stronger and not actually play some silly games." Sophia said.

"What about you Kate?" Peter asked.

"I'm also going to train with Sophia tomorrow. I need to hone my skills further." Kate replied.

"Jack, what are you planning on doing tomorrow?" Vynn asked.

"Me? I'm going to head off with some friends to train hard." Jack answered.

They finally got to their dorm room and they decided to rest or probably sleep.

Meanwhile, in the staff meeting room, the whole military were having a meeting with one of the General present.

"So guys, that's all for the briefing. And lest I forget, we have a new staff. His name is Jim and he will be taking one of the homeroom class as a homeroom teacher." The General said.

They all welcomed the new staff. And then after a few minutes of more briefing, the meeting was finally dismissed by the General and they all left the room all except Jim that is.

"Kid with the orb, I have finally gotten here and I'm going to find you no matter the cost." Jim thought.
